Step by Step Instructions

1
Mixing the dough

  • In a large bowl, combine the flour, yeast, and water. Mix until no dry flour remains.
  • Let the dough rest for 30 minutes (autolyse).

2
Add salt

  • Incorporate the salt into the dough and knead or fold until evenly distributed.

3
Cold fermentation

  • Place the dough in a covered container and refrigerate at 4 °C for 24 hours to develop flavor and structure.

4
Shaping

  • Remove the dough from the fridge and let it come closer to room temperature.
  • Turn it out onto a floured surface, gently shape into a loaf or boule, and place into a floured proofing basket.
  • Cover and let proof for 1-2 hours, or until puffy and airy.

5
Baking (Glowen oven)

  • Fire up the Glowen oven to 250 °C.
  • Remove the fire, close the door, and place the scored loaf inside.
  • The bread starts baking at 250 °C and continues as the oven naturally cools down to about 200 °C.
  • Bake for 35-45 minutes, until the crust is deeply golden and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

6
Cooling

  • Let the bread cool completely on a rack before slicing.
